Leeds United are aiming to finish in the playoffs zone by May, and January transfer additions are already being mulled over.
The Elland Road outfit have Sporting Lisbon centre-back Tobias Figueiredo top of their plans for next month, and signing the £3.5million-rated Portuguese could give their promotion push a huge boost.
The 23-year-old might have only featured in just 4 games across all competitions this term, with Sporting keen to sell, but it can’t be denied he has the potential to hit the peak at Elland Road.
Standing at 6ft 2in, Figueiredo is a noticeable physical presence, with his ball interception abilities his main prowess.
Keeping clean sheets have proven to be Leeds’ best way of getting results this term, and should the Portugal youth international combine effectively well with Pontus Jansson in the heart of the defence, the team’s defence could become more impregnable for opponents.
Making a swoop on Figueiredo could prove to be the right decision come May, and Leeds must pull out all the stops to get their man.
